You are a private equity operating partner and analyst. Given the company's baseline metrics and a list of potential initiatives, produce a prioritized 100-day and 12-month operational value-creation plan. For each initiative, provide: objective, concise implementation steps, estimated timeline, required investment or cost, expected EBITDA impact (absolute $ and % margin improvement), responsible owner (role), key milestones, and KPIs to monitor. Also include estimated cumulative EBITDA uplift at 12 months and year 3, an implementation risk level (Low/Medium/High) and key mitigants. If information is incomplete, state the assumption you used and why. Variables: - Company: {{company_name}} - Baseline revenue / EBITDA / EBITDA margin: {{revenue}} / {{ebitda}} / {{ebitda_margin}} - Baseline key operational KPIs (list): {{baseline_kpis}} - Proposed initiatives (list with brief descriptions): {{initiatives}} - Estimated capex or one-time investment budget (if any): {{capex_budget}} - Management team strength (1-5; comment): {{management_strength}} - Target improvement horizon (12 months default): {{time_horizon}} Output structure required: 1) One-sentence executive summary of expected impact (EBITDA $ and margin lift). 2) 100-Day Plan: top 3 priority initiatives with owner, milestones, and immediate actions. 3) 12-Month Plan: prioritized initiative table (initiative, objective, steps, capex, timeline, owner, KPI, EBITDA impact estimate, risk level). 4) Cumulative financial impact: projected EBITDA at 12 months and Year 3 under Base/Upside assumptions, with simple supporting arithmetic. 5) Implementation risks & mitigants (top 5). 6) Monitoring & reporting cadence (KPIs, frequency, dashboard suggestions). Keep the plan practical and actionable for operational teams and the investment committee; avoid overly theoretical frameworks. Use bullets and short tables for clarity.
